@vavakado@mas.to About the tech becoming fascist, all I can say is: "always has been". I hope to write about it in depth one day, but most of our present-day infrastructure has been built by people, structures and companies who can't be trusted with anything. They are the ones who'll gladly cooperate with fascists if they ever come to power. And coming to power fascists have been doing over the past years, so yeah. The entire tech field has been built in a way that is vulnerable to fascism. The days we had prior to that have been a historical accident, that is now successfully corrected away.

@KFears@mstdn.games I'll add that engineers love making stuff because it's fun or technically interesting, but often disregard politics or think that they're doing science so they're neutral. Problem, they need money to work. Who has money? Big corps, who put their interests before ideology, so they will become fascist if it helps growing in the current political context. That's how well-intentioned engineers or scientists can be driven by fascism without knowing it.
